George Papandreou: Greece determined and on track to approve reforms

EU Council President Herman Van Rompuy stressed the importance of the Greek
government following through with its proposed cuts and further adjustments,
after a meeting with Greek Prime Minister George Papandreou in Brussels.

"I underline the need for Greece to make further adjustment efforts to address the current challenges, recognising the progress made so far. The package of measures agreed upon by the government and the Troika on fiscal consolidation, privatisation and structural reforms needs to be supported by the Greek parliament," Van Rompuy said.

"This will pave the way to the next disbursement by Mid-July," he added.

Van Rompuy also said he recognised the progress Greece has made so far.

The Greek parliament will hold a confidence vote on Tuesday on Papandreou's new cabinet, formed to stiffen resolve behind austerity measures to win new loans and avoid bankruptcy
